My conversion story
August 27, 2016 at 4:20 pm
(This post was last modified: August 27, 2016 at 4:21 pm by Alex K.)
One day, I needed to know for some reason how many fluid ounces are in a mile cubed. With kilometers and liters, it's really simple, because a liter is 10cm cubed, so 1 meter cubed is a 1000 liters, so 1000 meters cubed is a 1000 billion liters. But with miles, conversion is a bit more difficult. A mile is roughly 1600 meters. A fluid ounce is roughly 0.03 liters. So if you cube the 1600, you get roughly 4.1 billion, times a 1000 liters is 4.1 trillion liters. Multiply by 33.3 because that's how many floz go into one liter, and a mile cubed is roughly 140 trillion fluid ounces. I hope you liked my conversion story.

Inspiring.

Did your conversion remove you from the dominant group or put you there?

I'm not sure - I can say with certainty that I entered the select small group of individuals who know how many fluid ounces are in a mile cubed.

Are you going to start looking for others to join you in that special knowledge, form a band of conversion converts?
We await your revelation.

That's never going to play over here, I guess you know. We like our acres and inches, yards, cubits and so on.
